Can a movement founded on a hashtag really change the world?
HARDtalk’s Sarah Montague speaks to Patrisse Khan-Cullors, the
woman who first coined the slogan Black Lives Matter. She used it
as a hashtag on a friend's Facebook post back in 2013. Since then
Black Lives Matter has taken off as a political movement around
the world. She’s now written about her own experience growing up
in a poor black family in California, and how she’s convinced
that if racism and state violence against African Americans can
be stopped then other problems in the black community - such as
poverty, poor education and crime - would disappear too. Is she
right?
